Grabschrift
Language: German (Deutsch)
"Dem Auge fern, dem Herzen nah!" Als ich die alte Grabschrift sah Im eingesunknen Marmorstein, Da fiel mein totes Lieb mir ein. O Gott, ich schrieb schon tausendmal Das gleiche Lied aus gleicher Qual, Und war doch keins wie dieses da: "Dem Auge fern, dem Herzen nah!"
